*** The eulogy deserves to be reproduced in full. Warning: will cause many ManlyTears.
----> "We are gathered here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet it should be noted, in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human."

** If you're trying to get through this scene with a dry eye, James Horner's [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome soundtrack]] is not your friend. The end of the cue "Genesis Countdown" is Kirk's reaction to Spock's sacrifice. Unreleased on the soundtrack, but prominent in the movie is Scotty on the bagpipes at Spock's funeral, followed by the familier swell of Amazing Grace. Cue ManlyTears, a lot of them.
